Johnny singing "Holding on to Jesus"

I have come to this ocean and the waves of fear are starting to grow.

The doubts and questions are rising with the tide.

So I’m clinging to the one sure thing I know.

I will hold on to the hand of my Savior and I will hold on with all my might.

I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting and hold on to Jesus. I will hold on to Jesus for life.

I’ve tried to hold many treasures. They just keep slipping through my fingers like sand. But there’s one treasure that means more than breath itself. So I’m clinging to it with everything I am.

I will hold on to the hand of my Savior and I will hold on with all my might.

I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting and hold on to Jesus. I will hold on to Jesus for life.

Like a child holding on to a promise, I will cling to His word and believe. As I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Hold on for life.

Happy 30th Birthday Nov 12th

Dearest Johnny,

I know you have gone to Heaven, but we still celebrate the day you were born.

It was a special day and you blessed our lives with memories we will never forget.

You were a happy baby when they finally found something you could eat and digest. You even became a fat baby. You loved to play your drums at an early age of 2 years old and played them all your life after. You loved anything to do with music. You sang a special song called "Holding on to Jesus for Life" and you literally did hold on for 21 years with a horrific disease called Cystic Fibrosis. Many people have shared with us how you blessed them and were a Christian example to them even through adversity. If we all could just live like you did, no complaining, just live life to the fullest and serve a loving God with joy. I miss you so much and someday we will all be together again.

Our lives changed forever when you went home to be with the Lord.

Happy Birthday Johnny in Heaven!

Love Mom

Bowl For Breath 2007 in Memory of Johnny

Thank you everyone for helping in the P.U.S.H for the cure in Johnny's memory.

This year Johnny would have been 30 in Nov.

This is another reminder for those of you related that you should be tested for C.F. We really missed not being there and we won't miss next year.

We love you all, Uncle John and Aunt Esther
